Odd one here, but I've encoutered a couple of stalls when doing slow right turns (eg Roundabouts etc) even when the clutch is flat to the floor. I first feel the power steering fail (goes very heavy) and then the car stalls in less than a second.

Anyone come across this? At first I thought it might be electrical but I've notice the idle sounds a little off lately. Perhaps the Powersteering exertion is pushing it over the edge?

Hi there

Could be the start of your throttle body packing up and not idling...

I assume your foot is off the gas pedal at this paticular point.

isnt there a sensor which detects power steering pump usage and increases revs slightly? could be this if indeed there is such a thing

Hope it's not the throttle body throwing its hand in, mine did the same a few months ago, and was a credit card wobblingly expensive part (1500 of your English pounds please).
